# Export

#### Export &#x20;

The **Export** function prepares a TempoWeave project for use with **TempoTreadle** by creating a compliant design file along with the associated cached files required for fast loading on the device.

During export, a **special version of the WIF file** is generated with the following modifications:

* All comments are removed (comments longer than 32 characters cause issues in TempoTreadle).
* File names are checked for excessive length or invalid characters.
* The number of warp ends and picks is verified to ensure it does not exceed TempoTreadle’s maximum limits.
* Information not required by TempoTreadle is stripped out to improve loading performance.

To avoid confusion with the original WIF stored on your computer, the exported WIF file has **“\_tt” appended** to the draft name.

The Export function allows you to select the **drive letter** corresponding to the micro-SD card, then creates and copies all required TempoTreadle files directly to that card.
